If Jobber hosted an in-person event, what would make it worth the trip?

This would absolutely be worth the trip for me, especially if it was designed around learning, collaboration, and building relationships.

I’d love to see live demonstrations from vendors so we can get hands-on experience with equipment before making major investments. Bringing companies like Ferris, Echo, Stihl, Milwaukee, Greenworks, Toro, **bleep**, and others would be a huge benefit for home service businesses.

I also think breakout sessions for different industries would be valuable. Landscaping, cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, pressure washing, and other trades all have unique challenges, but we can still learn from one another. Sessions on pricing, marketing, hiring, leadership, financial planning, AI, automation, and getting the most out of Jobber would be incredible.

One thing I’d especially enjoy is hearing from successful Jobber users who started with just a mower, a truck, or a dream and built thriving businesses. Those real-life stories inspire people who are just starting out.

I’d also love opportunities for networking, mentorship, and even speed networking where new business owners can sit down with experienced owners and ask questions. Those conversations can change the trajectory of a business.

Finally, I think it would be amazing to recognize community members who consistently help others, celebrate grant recipients, and explain how members can grow within the Jobber Community—from contributor to ambassador. Encouraging members to engage, share knowledge, and support one another only makes the community stronger.

I’d travel for an event like that without hesitation. It wouldn’t just be a conference—it would be an investment in my business, my family, and the community I serve through Mowing With A Purpose Landscaping. 💚🌱

All three of those would get me there, but a couple things would make it a no-brainer:

Mini business segments. Real content for businesses at every stage, including the one everyone's circling but few are handling well: how service-based businesses sustain with and despite AI. That session alone is worth the trip.

A "bring your team" track. Most events are built for the owner. Give crews and key people something too, and suddenly the trip is team development I can justify, not just time away.

Networking and training fill the day. Content and structure like this are what make people book the trip and bring others next year.

Sounds like a great idea!

Wow, if these are just some of the events, I could see myself getting a lot out of the Jobber in-person event!

Some of the specific topics I would be interested in:

• Hiring Tips presentation
• Making a profit presentation
• Customer service training for my team - cleaning techs - they don't only do cleaning 
• Managing the stress of running a business
• Growing pains of a business
• Marketing in a saturated market

I love these events!!!!

I’m particularly interested in hands-on training that will help me expand the range of services I can offer. Skills like door and window repair/replacement, general carpentry, deck repair, and fence repair would allow me to help more customers — especially homeowners who struggle to find reliable help for these jobs. I would also like to network with both new and experienced handymen to learn best practices, share knowledge, and build relationships within the local trades community. There is just to many things you cant learn in a book. If the training provides skills that will genuinely increase my capabilities and allow me to serve more people, I would be fully committed to taking the time off work. I believe the investment will pay for itself many times over through the additional jobs I’ll be able to complete.

More people would likely attend if Jobber partnered with a major trade event. One trip, multiple learning opportunities. Attendees could learn the software and hear about upcoming features.  This can help bring the Jobber community closer. And also build relationships with vendors and contractors.

Good evening,

What would actually make it worth taking time from starting my business is all three…networking with other pros, hands-on product training, and hearing directly from the Jobber team about what’s coming. It would definitely bring true meaning and understanding on starting my new business.
